Questions  

If the value of ‘g’ acceleration due to gravity, at earth surface is  10m/s2, its value in  m/s2 at the centre of the earth, which is assumed to be a sphere of radius ‘R’ metre and uniform mass density is

a
5
b
10/R
c
10/2R
d
Zero

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Inside a shell gravitational force is zero. Hence at the centre of earth the acceleration due to gravity is zero.
